A JOURNEY IN THE BIG LAND: ENHANCING CANCER SERVICES FOR FIRST NATIONS, INUIT AND METIS IN LABRADOR COMMUNITY AND CLINIC PROFILES DECEMBER, 2015 www.easternhealth.ca In March 2014, work begun on the three-year initiative funded by the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer, entitled A Journey in the Big Land. This initiative is aimed at enhancing the cancer care journey for First Nations, Inuit and Metis (FNIM) patients in Labrador. The Community and Clinic profiles were developed in partnership with numerous staff, patients and community members representing the FNIM, Labrador-Grenfell and Eastern Health partners. These profiles provide an overview of each FNIM community and outline access to health care facilities, to help familiarize the health care team with supports and resources available to patients at their local community level; and to ultimately enhance discharge planning and transitions in care.
